KAA Sixth Form oversubscribed in its first year

by Vashti Turner  on August 26, 2016  in  Sixth Form

On Thursday 25^th August the KAA Sixth Form team enrolled the academy’s first 120 sixth formers. The oversubscription for sixth form places meant that only students who had met the minimum entry criteria were admitted into our very first cohort. We are very sorry to disappointed candidates on the waiting list, but we wish them the very best of luck for the future.

Senior staff were pleased but not surprised by the popularity of the sixth form in its first year, given the careful planning that has taken place, the partnerships the school has with Godolphin & Latymer and Charterhouse, and the popularity of the junior school in the local community. There is great excitement about the opportunities and challenges ahead for our students as they enter a new phase of their academic journey.

The next step for our successful candidates is to ensure that the bridging work for their chosen subjects is completed by the beginning of the Autumn term. Bridging work was set during the academic induction day in July, but digital copies can be found here. If there are any questions, please email the relevant Head of Department.

To help our new sixth formers settle in and get their A levels off to a flying start, we have two days of induction on Thursday 1^st and Friday 2^nd September. Over these two days of induction we will cover all the practicalities of life at KAA, run some study skills workshops, issue student timetables, and allow students to meet their tutors and other students in their tutor groups. Students should arrive at KAA at 8am on Thursday 1^st September in professional dress, ready for study with a pen. The first presentation will begin at 8.15am.

Everyone at KAA is very much looking forward to the exciting journey ahead with our very first A level students.
